...output is seldom sold or shown abroad. But "The World According to Kim Jong Il," an exhibition that will run at Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum until Aug. 29, offers a rare and fascinating look at the captive artists' spin on life in the Hermit Kingdom. The 285 works on display are relatively recent, but they might easily have come from Stalin's Soviet Union or Mao's China.

...assembled a multinational team, some of whom want to put the U.S. on trial. The Bush Administration has tainted Saddam's trial already. An international tribunal created by the Security Council would have garnered legitimacy and, in all likelihood, convicted the accused.

...kind of full-scale crackdown on terrorists. In the coming days, American officials will publicly show deference to Allawi. John Negroponte, the newly minted U.S. ambassador in Iraq, will formally present his credentials to the new government. And the CPA signs will be packed up-in an very public display. But no one will be in any doubt that Iraq is George W. Bush's fight as much as Allawi's. Maybe even more...
